Battlefield 3 taking into account of feedback for weapons

For most Battlefield 3 players, the huge number of weapon-mounted accessories are little more than filler between the obvious handful of choices that offer the best, effective results. The game's core gameplay designer, Alan Kertz, has picked up on that state and taken to Reddit to solicit advice for tweaking BF3's various gun augmentations.

"I'm not promising this will go live, and I'm not promising there will be an update, I'm looking for feedback and a discussion," Kurtz writes, carefully requesting feedback while trying not to overpromise. He says that the goal in said request is to "focus on improving the under performing and under used attachments," but also to identify how to nerf the most powerful attachments.

IMO: Tactical light is OP

Nerfing is more ruthless than boosting UP weapons and attachments. You're effectively ruining someone's play style if you touch stuff they use, subsequently forcing them to use the UP attachments. What sort of developers -force- their players to use certain weapons? XD

They're not so much ruining their play style, as they are improving attachments that are unpopular or overpowered that makes it unpopular. For example, like the recent IRNV nerf (where the night vision scope was reduced in its effective range to keep it from being too powerful).
